This *may* help. I have seen a program called Micrografx Draw Plus,
which used to run under Win 2.xx, which was their precursor to
Designer. I am not sure whether or not they upgraded it to run under
win3, but it is advertised by FastData (or FastMicro, or some such
name, ads in magazines like PC Week and PC Sources), for $148. If this
is indeed the upgraded version that runs under win3, then it would be
very good. I liked Draw Plus a lot, and it had all the features I
wanted, but nothing like getting fonts to fit a curve.
